PIG CLUBS IN GEORGIA
THE BANKS AND THE FARMERS
The Banner-Herald has from time to time advo
cated the plowing up and burning of cotton stalks
so Eoon as the cotton has been gathered. There is no
que .ticn but'that this method will come nearer de
stroying boll weevils than other plani of destruction
If the weevil is not allowed to house during the win
ter, Certainly there can be no multiplying of the
pest or migrating in the spring of the year. Banka
of the country arc taking cognizance of the condi
tion and urging their agricultural customers to des
troy stalks and otherwise campaign agalnat the in
crease of the weevil. Here is a letter sent out by the
Home Bank, Barnwell,. S. C. It contains sound ad-
vice to the cotton/rgnqwor and at the same time re
minds the farmer who does not co-operate with the
banks’ and other farmers that he may experience
trouble in securing aid for the coming year. The
Ia>—iays:
' '.To Our Customers and Friends: , We have
been advised by 1 the federal and state govern
ments, that to grow cotton another year the
• stalks must be killed, and as soon as the last lock
v - of- cotton is picked, take your plow and rip the
stalks up, this will kill the stalks, and cut off the
food supply of the weevils. The earlier these
- stalks can be destroyed before frost, before Oct
> 10, if possible, the more good will be accom
plished.
r ,Now, listen! We are especially appealing to
every one, but more especially to the customers
* of the Home Bank to do this, for if one of our
Customers can do this and fails to do so, when
, he comes into the bank in January to secure a
. loan to make cotton and has not destroyed his
'■ stalks early in thetfall as has been suggested
and advised, we may not be able to make a loan
for him. So we say ."gain and for the last time
to- our friends, to destroy those stalks before
frost, otherwise you cannot hope to make much
'"7 cotton another year.,
Come to the bank and we will gladly tell
you more about it. • ,
^^The advice given in this letter is reasonable, con-
^■niag safe and sound business principles and shoW3
PPfat this bank is interested in the welfare of the
farmer. If all the banks in the cotton belt would
use their influence to bring about such a condition
in their section it would go a long way towards se
curing the co-operation of every cotton grower in the
destruction ot the weevil. Such a policy on the part
of the banks is justifiable and commendable and
one which would bring good returns to this sec
tion of the country.
.The production;of hogs in this state for this ^ear
shows a decrease of about forty per cent from that
of Jgst year. However, an instance in Musccogee
county proves thjtt the boys’ pig clubs can be made
a greAt factor in meat production, and a paying in
dustry for the boys. Here is what a report from the
agriculture department in Washington has to say
of Ihesc two Muscogee county boys.
- Two farm boys of Muscogee county Georgia
liiive succeeded so well in their pig club work
{hat they have been able to purchase a moderate
, priced automobile and by this means attend high
school, which is a considerable distance from
their home.
These young stockmen, Webster and Dana
Cartledge, have practiced the feeding and care
..of pigs under the direction of their county agri
culture agent since 1919, when they secured a
pure bred boar in partnership. This they grew
into a prize-winning animal. In -1920 each
bought a gilt, giving his personal note for the
purchase price, and later they together invested
in d young boar to replace their old one. From
. these purchases they have built up an excellent
.... - herd. They have/shown their sows and litters
at a number of community, county and district
fairs, and have sold many of the young pigs.
In 1922, according to reports to the United
States Department of Agriculture, in addition to
winning a scholarship to the junior short’course
at tho State Agriculture College, they received
over $250 cash returns from their stock and had
on hand more than $600 worth of hogs.
That which can be done in Muscogee county can
’■ be done in practically every county in the state
The pig clubs have contributed more to the in
creased production of meat than from any other
^source, just a* the corn cluha have done for- the
increased production of corn. Since the inaugura
tion of corn clubs in this state not only haa there
been a remarkable increased production per acre
but there has been a large increase in acreage and ’
the com crop has grown to be one of the most valua
ble of all crops.
With increased interest aroused in the com and
Tig clubs it will contribute much towards placing
-Georgia on sound substantial basis and in a great
measure enable the people to live at home off the
fruit of their own labor.
DESIRES
By Berton Braley
Man looks for little here below,
A little chance, maybe,
To find in love a little glow,
In Youth a little Klee;
A little time for frivolinK
Before the years are shriveling
A spirit glad and free.
Man gets but little here below,
Nor keeps that little long;
A little hour perhaps to know
. A little mirth and song,
A little strength for laboring,
A little time for neighboring
With friends among the
throng.
Man looks for little here below,
And little does he get.
Save, now and then, a little 3how
To earn, by work and sweat,
A little cash for squandering
On pleasuring or wandering
To ease the heart of fret.
Man, hoping little here below,
Wins even less, it s true.
Most of his little visions ro
Quite swiftly up the flue!
Life has a heap of stings to it,
Yet, golly, how man clings to it
Until his time is through!

A basket of the finest and

yesterday from the Consolidated
